So not only did Mike have to face better competition throughout the ECF and the First round, he had to face historically great teams in the First round for his first 3 seasons.

The best record for a team LeBron had to face in the 1st round was last year against the Pistons at 44-38
Meanwhile to open his first 3 years in the league, MJ had to face a 59-win team, twice, and a 67 win team as well.




For the Stat Geeks who run this board said:
MJ:
PER: 27.9 (is this low because wiz jordan had PER of 20.7 & 19.3)
WS: 214 (is this low because he played 18 games in 85-86, and 17 games in 94-95)
O-rating: 118
D-Rating: 103*



LBJ:
PER: 27.6
WS: 197.4**
O-rating: 116
D-rating: 102*


*yes, we know a lower D-rating means a better one.
**yes, we know Jordan had a 15 year playing career, and LeBron is in his 14th
